Exactly how do you figure that, since Perry voted for Bush41 in the general election? Yes, Perry voted for Carter in 1976, and he admits he was fooled by Carter - he thought Carter, as a Christian Southern Democrat and a farmer, was more conservative than he turned out to be. (Perry was only 26 at the time as well, so maybe youth was a factor.) So while he voted for Carter, he was not a "Jimmy Carter Democrat" - he was a "Reagan Democrat", voting for Reagan in 1980 and 1984.
I remind you that Perry only switched parties in 1989. He supported Carter, Mondale and Dukakis.
Nope. Pure falsehood. Perry has stated publicly, long before he decided to run for president, that the last Democrat he voted for in a Presidential general election was Carter in 1976. So that means he voted for Reagan in 1980 and 1984 and Bush41 in 1988. That was not unusual for Southern Democrats - many voted GOP for President and Democrat in local elections. They made up a large part of the "Reagan Democrats" that helped Reagan win 2 elections.
Perry is unfit to be president.
Perry is EXTREMELY well qualified and fit to be President.
“he was a “Reagan Democrat”, voting for Reagan in 1980 and 1984.”
Pure speculation and wishful thinking on your part.
Reagan endorsed Bush. Perry endorsed Gore.
These are the facts.
“They made up a large part of the “Reagan Democrats” that helped Reagan win 2 elections.”
Reagan Democrats? You’re making that up! Whoever heard of a Reagan Democrat! ... hmmmmmphh.
Methinks you are talking to a wall of ignorance. And I agree, Perry is probably the best prepared on the roster as of today. I WOULD vote for Palin, if/when she declares (and support her, too) even though, sadly, I am not sure how electable she is, but if for no other reason than we have to end the RINO circus and flush as many of the old turds as possible from the Grand Old Potty. Well, that and it might be huge fun to watch the heads explode on both sides.
